Episode 179 - We Sail to Athens! And Explore the Fabulous Historical City and Acropolis!

We Sail through huge ship anchorages to the beautiful Athens! We are in the middle of a crazy heatwave, but decide its our only opportunity to explore the city so Nicky and the kids go anyway! We want to see the ACROPOLIS! Over the centuries, the Acropolis was many things: a home to kings, a citadel, a mythical home of the gods, a religious center and now for us a wonderful tourist attraction. It has withstood bombardment, massive earthquakes and vandalism yet still stands as a reminder of the rich history of Greece. We use the open top bus and queue for hours and hours to experience these magical sights and to share it with you guys, nearly getting heat stroke in the process! We finally take refugee in the National Gardens, entwined with the parliament buildings/old palace, with its ancient aqueduct dating back to the 6th c BC and its astonishing gardens originally partly designed by a queen with a massive array of hundreds of old and new trees, plants and shrubs, making this a magical place to hang out and enjoy this bustling European city. Thank you to our wonderful patrons, you are really helping to make all this possible! Don't forget to pop over to Patreon to watch all the extra footage, and get all our episodes a week early.
